We're keeping the pressure up

In September 2018, we were pleased that the Government listened to our calls to include working age adults in their promised public consultation on social care - known as a Green Paper.

But this consultation has now been delayed six times. The Care Minister Caroline Dinenage says these delays are in part because Brexit is taking centre stage.

Ending the care crisis can’t wait any longer. We’re working with 80 other charities under the Care and Support Alliance to push for the consultation to be released and for urgent funding for social care.

When the Green Paper is published, we’ll need to tell the Government what needs to change for people affected by MS.
